Time for a weekly update. Since the last one...
Nickelberry committed to Louisville. As predicted.
Moore picked up another prediction to Duke, trivially adding to a strong Duke lead.
There's been a little of shuffling for Hurt, but KU retains its 50% edge. Everybody else lost a bit.
UCLA added a prediction to pull out of a tie with us for Baker.
We added up another pick for Bacot. Still 100%.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. We need 2019 to be a real quality class. I’m hoping for positive momentum this summer.
just think if the crystal ball picks were right for once … it would be time to offer some more schollys
Todd and Springer would be my 1st two offers for 2020. Springer is a PG right now but don't think he ends at that position believe he will end up as a SG/SF because of height.
I would sure be in on Todd.
UNC has been in touch with him since late last year, IIRC.

Time again for a weekly update. Since the last one...
Not much happened. A couple of additional predictions. All for existing leaders. A few slight tweaks in the rankings. A couple of withdrawn predictions but, again, no changes in leaders or trends.

I still think we should offer another SF and PF/C. Or several.

An athletic 5-star wing to replace Little would be good get. The Heels will definitely lose Bird, Cam , Williams and Little and possibly Coby also. That is possibly the entire starting line-up..OUCH!
I'm curious (but too lazy to check) what the Crystal ball was saying about Day'ron Sharpe prior to his commitment. Does anyone know?
The funny thing about Sharpe is that he had not been trained in "recruit Interview etiquette". You know when the kids are asked "What school do you like the best"? The normal canned answer..."I like them all". He talked about UNC like he was headed to heaven to join Elizabeth.
When he said during the interview that his dad cried when Roy made the offer it was done deal. Good get for the Heels!

I LOVE getting these type of kids. There is such a huge character difference between this kid/Nas Little to the Wendell Moore/Kevin Knox types.... Just another reason to feel fortunate we have Roy and that he places such a premium on not only how good the kid is on the floor, but off the floor as well.
Here is a link (?) to the Charlotte Observer article. Kid always wanted to be a Tar Heel.

Several guys moved up a tad in the rankings (italics) but no new predictions or changes in trends.

Bacot 20 12 UNC 100% No ChangeMore than a hint of Durant. Might want to get him an offer.I see that the needle has moved on Isaiah Todd, he has us at 50% and KU at 50%. Not to recruit negatively but kid needs a bug in his ear Self isn't Mr. Clean. Or we can take the high ground and just sell him on CH and UNC!
Two more to keep an eye on Jaden Springer, mentioned above in this thread and Walker Kessler...also mentioned previously...
https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...ree-players-who-could-land-in-top-10-for-2020
Springer being a North Carolina kid is important, like the Gantt kid at W. Meck...and Kessler is getting notice as a do everything 7' player. Roy and company are still shopping.

If we get Springer and Sharpe in 2020 I'll be FIRED UP. Springer would step right in for Coby and we'd lose very little.
He seems to be almost every teams preferred target now off of that Indiana AAU squad, ahead of Keion Brooks. Brooks is still very highly thought of, but TJD has stepped to the forefront it seems, by many, out of those two 5 stars.
It's been a couple of weeks since I updated this.
Some movement on Brooks. Unfortunately, it's towards Indiana, not us.
Hurt is trending more strongly toward Kansas, and we have dropped off the CB radar.
Likewise, Baker is trending more strongly toward UCLA, taking predictions from us and Texas.
I sure hope more offers to SFs and bigs are right around the corner.

Bacot 21 12 UNC 100% No ChangeI'd like to see us get involved with Qudus Wahab from Flint Hill in Oakton, VA. He's a big 6-10 guy who can run the court and blocks anything near the rim. His offense is a work in progress but he's going to be a good one.
I think Baker and Hurt are extremely long shots, and Earl isn't much closer. TBH, if we land Bacot, with all the young bigs we already have, I'm content.
Has anybody heard anything about Francis and his recovery from knee surgery. I believe he missed the rest of the season, is that correct. We certainly need him to recover fully. We'll need him by his sophomore year, if not sooner.

Earl may not be as long a shot as some think. Being in FL helps, if anything. Would love to see some stuff finally start to stick to Self and KU --- that might help even more.
Francis I heard has gone to John Lucas's guard academy so I trust he's feeling better.
If the FBI doesnt drag their feet like the NCAA does, maybe a cloud will form over KU's heads. Thats the only way I see us getting JRE right now.
In regards to 2020, Jaden Springer has been to UNC multiple times and I think his family loves Roy based on what I've read. I think he's ours to lose right now. All we need to pop is the offer.

Wendell Moore has scheduled official visits to all five of his favorites this fall. UNC is the last scheduled visit on the weekend of October 12 through the 14th for late night with Roy. Hmmmm...
Going on record saying he never makes that visit.
I hope not.
The scene is looking "Bright Green" on the Hill.
